I Am Emptiness

by MoHawk - Leo

I look into myself,
And see only emptiness,
I reach into myself,
But feel nothing, emptiness.

It grows within me,
And gradually spreads,
To every part of my being,
Filling everything with nothing.

I try to run from it,
But there's nowhere to go
I try to hide from it,
But I can't escape.

As the emptiness grows,
I become smaller,
As it gets stronger,
I become weaker.

It is all-consuming,
Everything is infected by it,
It is overwhelming,
And to it, I fall.

I am now void,
Filled no more with joy or happiness
Only sorrow and doubt,
I am emptiness and it is me.

Reason for writing:

    Have I yet given a good reason? Well maybe one but it stops there :)
